  1. Awesome video!
  2. Correct! But at least reading the background material and understanding the geometry/tactics behind BFM builds a good foundation. Last time I checked no major Air Force in the world just sends up pilots without some form of "class room" instruction. :smilewink:
  3. Thank you for your bluntness! :thumbup: And you are correct I need to go back to "basics", I picked up Robert Shaw's amazing book "Fighter Combat" and have been voraciously reading it all weekend. The next video I am going to put up will be in respect to the 3 different "pursuit curves' (Lead, Pure, and Lag) against a single opponent. I am thinking against a MiG23 as it may be easier to start BFM learning/practice against one of these versus a MiG29. Thoughts?
  4. This was just a single group. Would the AI react differently if they were a 2-ship and a single or 3 singles?
  5. Thanks for the words of encouragement fellas I will keep trying to incorporate all that you guys have posted! I did pick up Robert Shaw's "Fighter Combat" book and plan on hitting it pretty hard. In the mean time here is the newest video where I repeat the 3 x MiG29S challenge. Not much to say about this one other then I shot two down and sent the third one wounded back to his base. Still need to work on a lot of stuff and learn more about the tactics/maneuvers. That's why I don't mind your criticisms as I am using them as a tool to better myself.
  6. Yes! I will say that the MiG29s are far more aggressive than the Su-27 in this current build of the Sim. They like to get in there and turn with you! :thumbup:
  7. Nice job! Here is my latest video in the series and it really shows what taking a few days off from flying can do to you! :D I decided to take on 3 x MiG29s and I get target fixated right off the bat on the guy on my nose. I completely lost track/didn't bother with the other two. :pilotfly: I will be trying this challenge again!
  8. Wonderful shots! What contrast/brightness/color setting are you using to edit them?
  9. Indeed I did but like I said I am a "Work In Progress" :D I can only get better right! :smilewink:
  10. Absolutely! I will zip them when I get home from work tonight.
  11. Here is my latest video applying some of the suggestions from you all. While I'm still not the best pilot, I feel that I have greatly improved after reading what you guys have posted and getting a better understanding of "how" to fight. I'm still a WIP though! :D Anyway enjoy the video and many thanks for the helpful input ED members, keep the critiques coming! :thumbup:
  12. I think I'll try that tonight! :thumbup:
  13. They are set to "Excellent" and they were on a "Fighter Sweep" same as the SU-27 and he did engage.
  14. It was OK and I was lucky. After watching the ACMI file I noticed that the 2 Migs did not engage until I pressed the issue on them. Found that quite odd as they could have easily dropped in behind me after I chased after the Su27. Anyone have a reasoning for this weird AI behavior?
